 In spite of achieving  impressive increase  of  installed power generation capacity from 1,362 MW in 1947 to the current level of 190,593 MW (as of Feb 2012), the country is facing serious power shortages and more than 40% Rural Households do not have access to power supply. 

 

Energy Wastage & Our Role ?

 More than 25% of the  Electrical Energy generated is being wasted by inefficient use and misuse by the Consumers. Each one of us, as  the Consumer have a Responsibility and Role to prevent the wastage and make a difference. All that we need is the change in our Attitudes, Lifestyles and Habits to minimize/prevent the wastage. 

 

How to Bring down Consumption / Wastage ?

* Avoid switching on Lights during daytime or use sparingly, by making use of natural light to the extent possible

*Last person leaving the room should switch off all Lights , Fans etc 

*Avoid Using Incandescent Bulbs which generate more Heat than the Light

*Opt for LED Lighting Systems when ever  existing lighting devices need Replacement

* Try to avoid using Air Conditioners during the Winter months 

*Switch off TV, CD Players, DVDs, Music Systems etc from the Mains instead of by Remote  

*Avoid opening the Refrigerator door frequently .

* Set the Thermostat/ Temperature Control of Refrigerator and Air Conditioner correctly as per the season

*Whenever replacing the existing old Fans, Refrigerators, Air conditioners etc opt for "Star Rated" replacements with 1 to 5 Stars. More the Stars, Higher the Efficiency & the Energy Savings.

 

Benefits of Energy Savings       

* Saving of one Unit a day means  30 units per month and Saving of Rs 150 or more a month
